Description: Let (M,ρ) be a metric space, τ be a Hausdorff topology on M such that (M,ρ,τ) has Opial's condition, and let G be a semigroup and Ȝ = {T(t) : t ∈ G) be a semigroup of nonexpansive mapping from M into ... More

Description: Let C be a bounded, closed, convex subset of a uniformly convex Banach space X. We investigate the convergence of the generalized Krasnosel’skii-Mann and Ishikawa iteration processes to common fixed p... More

Description: This paper addresses the issue of global and semi-global stabilizability of an important class of nonlinear systems, namely, a cascade of a linear, controllable system followed by an asymptotically (e... More

Description: The paper proposes a semi-empirical model for the seawater corrosion of six strand wire rope. The model includes the local effects of water temperature, oxygen concentration, flow velocity, together w... More

Description: Because of the many important applications of quadratic programming, fast and efficient methods for solving quadratic programming problems are valued. Gotdfarb and Idnani (1983) describe one such meth... More

Description: In this paper, we study the notion of ISS with respect to two measurement functions for discrete-time systems. An example in previous work shows that, in the two measurement function case, the existen... More

Description: In current implementations of WCDMA, a homogeneous architecture is used in which each cell operates independently with provision for handover. However, there is a current trend toward heterogeneous ar... More

Description: We consider nonsmooth constrained optimization problems with semicontinuous and continuous data in Banach space and derive necessary conditions without constraint qualification in terms of smooth subd... More

Description: One of the most flexible versions of the Tietze extension principle is Katetov-Tong's theorem [E], [Ja]. This asserts that when X is normal, f: X → ℝ and g: X → ℝ are respectively lower and upper semi... More

Description: Förster resonance energy transfer theory (FRET) and a simple random walk (RW) are both implemented in a dynamic Monte Carlo simulation with the aim of determining the exciton diffusion length from pho... More

Description: In this paper, the vacancy-pair diffusion mechanism in cubic materials is revisited with emphasis on the limits of the ratio of the tracer diffusion coefficients to demonstrate the operation of this m... More

Description: Hydrogen is expected to become a commonly used energy carrier on the global scale in the near future. However, hydrogen as a fuel is environmentally friendly only when generated from water using renew... More
